It gave me neutral. However, my accent is unmistakenly Charlestonian in rhythm, cadence and vowel elongation. No one would confuse me with a denizen of the mid-west. I was taught to enunciate words correctly even if they are draped in a Southern drawl. I travel extensively and do bow to local pronunciations of places. Boise and Appalachia are two that almost all outsiders pronounce incorrectly. It is BOY-see and appa-LATCH-uh.
